Why Nothing Gets Done? Sen. Harry Reid Tells A 5-Minute College Football Story On Senate Floor

video
» 17 comments

This weekend, the University of Nevada won a big upset against Boise State. It was an exciting upset and a great game between conference rivals. Why am I discussing this here and not over at SportsGrid? Well, because Harry Reid decided to spend five minutes telling the story today to kick off the last session of 2010. That’s one way to spend a lame duck session.

Not that there were any complaints on the floor. And why should there be? It was five whole minutes without anything for the Democrats to get yelled at for or the Republicans to obstruct. I’m sure it was very relaxing. So let’s gather round and listen to Senator Reid’s exciting story of the Wolf Packs. We’ve embedded the video from C-Span in case your unemployment prevents you from buying a TV.

Interesting side note: Please note that they are starting “morning business” around 2pm. That may be the best part.

    ZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzz. I’m not sure how Reid was an attorney. If I were the judge I’d fall asleep. The only speech Reid should give is a bedtime story!

    “How To Open A Lameduck Session: Harry Reid Tells A 5-Minute College Football Story”

    …and the really, really pathetic part is THAT will be the HIGH POINT of dingy-harry’s latest attempt to slap Americans in the face with his extremist, lunatic-left agenda, which they overwhelmingly REJECTED on November 2nd.

    I am not too sure that your spin of what the mid terms meant is altogether true. I, of course, like many other real liberals, did not vote for the Blue Dog Dem in our district because they were not liberal enough. The Blue Dogs were nearly wiped out while the progressive coccus only lost 3 members Sen. Reed, for my tastes, lacks a backbone.

    I’m just thankful Reid, Pelosi, and Obama cannot further George Soros’ agenda!

    The Age and Era of Obama is Ending!

    1-20-13

    End of an ERROR!

    CELEBRATE!

    Is Harry hoping that the GOP will miss 2 game winning field goals, including a 27 yarder? You won’t have Kyle Brotzman to kick around, Harry.

    The Democrats celebrated Reid’s re-election, but he will just deliver six more years of gaffes and bad publicity for leftwing causes. Does anyone sensible person really believe that the Democrats can recover while still marching behind Reid, Pelosi and Obama?

    Fact: Unemployment in Nevada at 14% and they got what they wanted a sports announcer like Olbermann!

    The people of Nevada deserve this idiot. I will not travel to Las Vegas again because I can’t stand to be around so many stupid people. The only good thing is that the idiot Sen from Nevada will be majority leader only for two more years. Then the GOP will take the Senate and Sen. Reid can choose to pull a Nancy Pelosi and stay on as minority leader or he can retire.

    California and Nevada deserve what they get.

    I live in Georgia and I’m surrounded by idiots. California seems like heaven compared to the Deep South.

    You could just substitute Clinton for Obama and 1-20-97 for 1-20-13 and it’d be the exact same thing the GOP said at the end of 94.

    Now, with that said, I am not under the illusion that the Republicans will do so much as pass a bill saying the sky is blue if they knew Obama would sign it, but I suspect the American people won’t reward obstructionism and won’t subject itself to single party rule once again (assuming the Senate demographics play out as they should in 2012),

    Coupled with the GOP likely selecting a further right candidate who will have less appeal to the center, I’d bet Obama will win re-election, and furthermore, that the world will not end in the subsequent 4 years.

    Like said above Nevada deserves this guy! Oh wait the unions of Nevada deserves this guy not the real working people there.

    Didn’t I spot Reid on The Walking Dead last Sunday?

    Well if you consider high taxes, debt/deficits, high unemployment, and nut bag nanny state laws I guess the peoples republic of California would be your heaven. While tax paying people and buisness slowly leave that state, you should have no problem finding a cheap apartment.

    LOL…you partisan hacks are funny. We’ve already got single party rule. The Dims and Repugs are the same party, just slightly different versions. Both are for big government, wars, debt/deficits, and bailouts of large corporations. The other details are minor.

    If they’re gabbing about football, they can’t run the country further into debt. But if they’re avoiding action on bills, that could be bad.

    We either lose or…we lose.

    Hey Harry, the reason nothing ever gets done is YOU, PELOSI and OBAMA. You three stoogies just will not communicate with other members of Congress unless you get YOUR way! Of course you have to get your way, all back in a room with the door closed so no one, not even a citizen can know what you are doing. And you say that is “Transparency”! Past time for you to wake up and listen to the citizens of the United States of America, which you should know after the latest election. Of course, we know how you kept your seat, but we won’t publish it on here!
